Bamurru Plains

Safari and Wildlife Lodge
Darwin, Kakadu and Arnhem Land, Australia

Bamurru Plains is made up of nine spacious and cool safari suites plus the generous Kingfisher suite, all built amongst the savannah bush on the edge of the Mary River floodplains.

Each tent is ensuite and care has been taken to combine a sense of the heritage and culture of the region through local materials and Aboriginal artwork, but without losing comfort levels. The king-size beds are made up with organic cotton and the charming bathrooms with corrugated iron walls have high-pressure showers.

Each bungalow is raised on a timber platform with ample space to relax while watching the resident wildlife. Alternatively, head to the infinity pool where the views over the floodplains continue.

Why we like Bamurru Plains

The canvas walls of your bungalow allow you to see and hear the life in the bush, without the bush seeing you. The noises of the night, the flash of lightning on the plains, the rustle of the wind in the trees…it really is a most exciting place to fall asleep!
